About BusKill

BusKill is a laptop kill-cord. It's a USB cable with a magnetic breakaway that you attach to your body and connect to your computer.

If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys -- thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device.

While we do what we can to allow at-risk folks to purchase BusKill cables anonymously (or make their own), there is always the risk of interdiction.

We don’t consider hologram stickers or tamper-evident tape/crisps/glitter to be sufficient solutions to supply-chain security. A better solution (in addition to making the hardware designs open-source) is to let users purchase the device anonymously. Generally, the best way to defeat interdiction is to go to a physical brick-and-mortar and pay with cash.
